Re: My '86 GTI build
I have one of these coming: http://bestcasereview.com/shop/nexus-10/hard-candy-cases-shock-drop-10-inch-google-nexus-sd-nexus10-blk/ http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/lqQAAOSw6EhUQWnB/s-l400.jpg It looks like I can mount this case to the backside of a new dash panel with angle aluminum (with the tablet ...

Re: My '86 GTI build
That would be why its backlit in red. The megasquirt isnt in the car right now (and for these pics), but on my bench being driven by the JimStim Megasquirt Stimulator. The Lambda to the Megasquirt comes via a CAN bus when in the car and I dont have a simulator for that...which is why its reading 0.5.

Re: My '86 GTI build
The spacers I needed to correctly set the output shaft bearing preload in the 02A arrived Saturday so I reassembled the transmission over the weekend and this morning. I didnt like the look of the bearings on the output shaft from the 02J whenh I pulled that R:P, so replaced them. The manual said to...

Re: My '86 GTI build
I know that some road race cars run a 2psi residual valve to prevent pad knock-back from bouncing over curbs + rumble strips. Which is probably equal to bouncing up Ascutney. I'm betting that the stock load leveling proporting valve doesn't go from 0% to 100%-it must do some restriction at all time...

Re: My '86 GTI build
Your rear drums may need a different bias than my rear discs but when I added the Wilwood lever proportioning valve (260-8420), set to about the middle, I was able to dial my preferred bias in nicely with the balance bar without running it to an extreme end. With the lever I can quickly adjust the r...

Re: My '86 GTI build
always had good luck with Porterfield pads, I don't like the idea of bigger brakes, the stock brakes with the pads I got I can lock them up anytime with 255 A6's. don't want the extra mass or slower acceleration (nevermind the huge inventory of 13" wheels I have) I have to find out which compo...

Re: My '86 GTI build
The drive train is out, transmission removed, on the bench and drained waiting on me to take it apart again to swap in the new ring and pinion. One of the updates I want to do over the winter is to find a way to compensate for the removal of the vacuum brake booster. The new pedal set has the same r...

Re: Happy Birthday to me (280z build)
I believe the standard 280Z as 2 passengers. There was a 2+2 variant available that added 2 "jump" seats in the rear. Not sure what if any chassis/body changes were made to do this that would set it apart from the non-2+2. Without the turbo I would not be surprised to see it in SP4 or SP6,...

Re: Happy Birthday to me (280z build)
I thought there was some rule prohibiting certain engine swaps in SP...e.g. not allowing a Mazda or Chevy swap into a Nissan, but I cant find one, only a statement about how cars with engine swaps would be classed to where they are competitive. I would say the classification approach would begin by ...

Re: Happy Birthday to me (280z build)
Walter, do you know what diameter bulbs you have? I had been looking to replace the reverse bulbs (1156) on the Sprinter with something that projected more and better distributed light. I tried one but was unhappy with both the spotty distribution and the fact that the Sprinter lens/multiple LED bu...
